Lonely Planet review

This 1816 neoclassical mansion was owned by tobacco merchant Thomas Peter and his wife Martha Custis Peter, granddaughter of Martha Washington. The urban estate stayed in the prominent Peter family until it opened to the public in 1984 and so preserves pieces of the family's history as well as the country's. Today it functions as a small museum featuring furnishings and artwork from Mt Vernon. Its five acres are beautifully landscaped.

The landscaping includes gardens, fountains, walkways and orchards.
